Bristol City's new stadium plans
Bristol City Football Club may stay put at a renovated Ashton Gate stadium, rather than build a new one at Ashton Vale. They have encountered a series of setbacks in the planning process for Ashton Vale.
Bristol City may stay put at redeveloped Ashton Gate
The club will submit plans in the summer to redevelop Ashton Gate into a 26,000-seater, multi-purpose stadium which will be shared with Bristol Rugby Club. The club has struggled to get full approval for a brand new stadium at Ashton Vale.
In a letter on the club's website, the Managing Director John Lansdown says the plans would be deliverable in three years. They include:
- Completely new stands built where the Wedlock and Williams stands are currently sited
- Complete renovation of Dolman Stand and improvement of Atyeo Stand
- New on-site museum of sport, shop and 'Wedlock's Pub'
